DevOps & Infrastructure Engineer

Granter is building an

AI Grant Consultant , an AI agent that

handles grants for your organization, end-to-end . It helps companies discover funding opportunities, draft stronger proposals faster, and manage funded projects after approval.

Our mission is to enable businesses of all sizes to leverage incentives to grow and innovate. We are deeply involved in the Portuguese startup ecosystem and were the

winners of the Web Summit Pitch Competition 2025 . We are now looking for a

DevOps & Infrastructure Engineer

to own the foundation everything else is built on.

You have two goals:

Keep the platform solid

- own the Azure-based infrastructure, environments, and observability.

Make the team fast

- own the CI/CD pipelines that let engineers build, test, and ship reliably.

A core part of the role is

bringing AI into the development pipeline

- automating testing, documentation, code review, and pipeline optimization in ways that multiply what the team can do. DevOps is being reinvented by AI, and this role has real space to lead that.

What This Role Involves

Own the

Azure cloud environment

and foundational infrastructure the whole platform runs on.

Build and maintain

CI/CD pipelines

so engineers can ship reliably and fast.

Automate infrastructure with

Terraform

- reproducible, versioned, easy to reason about.

Keep test environments healthy and mirroring production.

Improve developer experience: faster builds, simpler local setup, tighter feedback loops.

Introduce AI-assisted automations

across testing, documentation, code review, and pipeline optimization.

Own observability and reliability - so problems are caught early and understood quickly.

Partner with QA on the environments and pipelines their testing runs in.

What We Are Looking For

Experience

4+ years in DevOps or a similar engineering role.

Proven track record building CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure that other engineers depend on.

Core Skills

Strong experience with

infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) .

Hands‑on experience with

containerization (Docker) .

Experience designing and maintaining

CI/CD pipelines

(e.g. GitHub Actions).

Hands‑on experience operating a major

cloud environment

( Azure

strongly preferred).

Comfortable scripting in

Python ,

Bash , or similar.

Solid understanding of

networking, security, and observability

fundamentals.

Additional Plus

Experience with

Kubernetes

or other container orchestration.

Experience working in a startup environment.

Familiarity with

LLM-based features

or AI systems in production.

Exposure to

AI tools in DevOps

(testing, documentation, pipeline optimization).

Familiarity with

Django, Celery , or similar backend stacks.

Communication

Clear and direct communicator.

Able to document issues clearly and make them easy to act on.

Fluent in

English

and

Portuguese .

Location requirement

This role requires physical presence in Lisbon. Please do not apply if you are not currently based in Lisbon.

Mindset

High standards and a strong sense of ownership.

Strong structured thinking and problem solving.

Perseverance to go deep and do the work required to get things right.

Curiosity

about how AI systems work and reshape engineering workflows.

How We Like to Work

We aim to build a team of

high‑agency builders

- people who take initiative, move problems forward, and don’t wait for permission to improve things.

You’ll likely do well here if you:

Take

ownership .

Focus on

outcomes , not just outputs.

Move ideas forward quickly through

testing

and

iteration .

Communicate clearly and give direct, no-B.S. feedback.

Collaborate effectively across disciplines.

Are curious about AI and how technology reshapes work.

Granter is still early in its journey, and we are serious about creating an environment where things get built. People here tend to befriend each other and often stay engaged with the team beyond the strict boundaries of work. We regularly spend time together through team activities and startup ecosystem events.

If that excites you, we’d love to hear from you. If it scares you, this may not be the right place, and that’s okay.
